Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Good. Second printing [stated]. 378, [4] pages. Notes. Index. DJ has some wear, soiling, tears and chips. Inscribed by author on fep. James Deakin (1929) is an American journalist. Deakin was born in St. Louis and received his degree from Washington University. In 1951, he joined the St. Louis Post-Dispatch and worked as a white house correspondent. In 1954, he was appointed to the Washington Bureau during the Eisenhower administration. Deakin studied and reported the administrations of John Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson and Richard Nixon. From 1958-1980, Deakin covered the White House. In 1981, he retired from The Post-Dispatch and ended up teaching courses in journalism at George Washington University until 1987. He wrote a critical report about lobbying and Lyndon B. Johnson entitled "Lyndon Johnson's Credibility Gap." He was also critical of the Nixon Administration, which landed him on the master list of Nixon political opponents. One of his most well-known book was "Straight Stuff: The Reporters, The White House and the Truth". Derived from a Kirkus review: The St. Louis Post-Dispatch's longtime White House correspondent takes a very sharp look at the two-way relationship between the president and the press, from Eisenhower onward. The public seldom sees "reporters trying by every device of cajolery, guile or insult to extract some information from the American government." Deakin leads off with Eisenhower's 1955 Denver heart attack, its brief coverup, the ostensible reasons, and the reporters' objection: "a conviction that secrecy in any form, large or small, was a bad thing that led to bad things." But then, he explains, press secretary Jim Hagerty, an old newsman, took over--and swamped the reporters with information: Subsequently, when Ike had ileitis and a stroke, the coverups were a little longer, the reporters a little more persistent. Deakin reviews press conferences from FDR, their apogee, to Reagan--noting the drop-off under Nixon; he covers government briefings, and other aspects of the process. He follows a chapter on journalism's shortcomings, apropos of charges of bias, with a contrasting/complementary one about life "on the road." Then he begins on the presidents and their press secretaries: Hagerty prompting Ike and making PR preeminent; Kennedy talking openness, then putting news manipulation "on a regular, formal basis"; Johnson cajoling and bludgeoning the press--wanting news to be what he said, secrets to remain secret till he announced them. And Nixon--hating and fearing the Washington press, using Ron Ziegler to stonewall it, doing his best to get around it. . . or discredit it. As for the reporters: "They should protest the obstacles that are erected by their own news organizations against their professionalism. . . . It could be called the adversary relationship.".
